New York Mob affiliate Donald Trump made common cause with a Russian Mob Boss named Semion Mogilevich. On the U.S. side of the Russiagate equation were gangsters as well as Saudis led by Adnan Khashoggi.

Trump’s links to Khashoggi take hours to fully detail. Both were part of Germany’s criminal Deutsche Bank’s money laundering operation for Russian Mobsters. For Deutsche Bank’s grift with Khashoggi, the bank was fined $278 million.

Working in Khashoggi’s financial fraud and drug trafficking operation— he’d been named in a secret Defense Intelligence Agency report — was Sarasota grifter Jonathan Curshen (currently in prison until 2030), along with Steve Bannon’s chief lieutenant Andy Badolato. 

Khashoggi and his chief lieutenant Ramy El Batrawi will later be deeply implicated in the two defining drug trafficking busts of the early 21st Century. Both involved American-registered planes flying out of St. Petersburg Florida.

In the early 1990’s Curshen had attempted a last minute save of Semion Mogilevich’s effort to worm his way into the Western financial system with a company named YBM Magnex, by offering to take the company private on the eve of the Fed’s seizure of the entire enterprise.

Pavel Vrublevsky, the first Russian hacker named by the FBI, ran back-end operations for a Khashoggi-owned company called “Blue Moon Group Inc,” run by Tampa Mobster Mike Muzio, (also currently in prison) that ran dozens of Mob porn sites like http://VoyeurDorm.com .

A Guyanese drug pilot named Michael Francis Brassington flew co-pilot in 2000-2001 on a Lear jet (N351WB) belonging to Wally Hilliard, owner of Huffman Aviation in Venice Florida, where Mohamed Atta was then taking flying lessons.

When Hilliard’s Lear jet was caught with 43 lbs of heroin in Orlando in late July 2000, The Orlando Sentinel (Aug 2 2000) called it a “record-setting heroin seizure.”

Evidence in Orlando Federal court indicated that before being busted the Lear jet made 39 weekly drug flights from Venezuela to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, to Teeterboro Airport outside New York City.

 

Oleg the Oligarch

Wally Hilliard was charged in 2004 with flying “numerous unauthorized and unsupervised flights” for Saudi nationals. Discovery showed a Hilliard-owned Lear jet had also been flying regularly, without an FAA air carrier operating certificate, to Rum Cay in the Bahamas for Adnan Khashoggi, who was involved in a struggle for control of the isolated island and its recently-completed 5000-foot runway. 

Back home in Guyana, Brassington’s politically prominent family cut a billion dollar bauxite deal—while Brassington’s father and uncle were successive Ministers of Privatisation—with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

Several years later Deripaska became Paul Manafort’s $18 mil-a-yr sugar daddy, as well as, no doubt coincidentally, Kellyanne Conway’s neighbor in Washington D.C.

In April 2004 pilot Michael Brassington entered the US through Fort Lauderdale International Airport. The lone U.S. Customs Agent on duty, J. L. Sanders, a rookie, saw that Brassington’s computer profile showed the him listed as a drug trafficker.  But he was carrying a letter from a top Customs official clearing him to enter the U.S.

Confused, Sanders phoned his supervisor at Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). The supervisor instructed him to treat Brassington as a “grave threat to national security.” 

 

Welcome to South Florida

“He said you can just disregard the letter, and told me to ignore it.  And he described Mike Brassington to me as a ‘grave threat to national security.’ He told me that I needed to check him, search him, and search all his passengers.”

Brassington will later figure prominently as the personal pilot for deposed Turks & Caicos Premier Mike Misick in a British Commission report into allegations of systemic corruption in the British dependency of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Taking back sovereignty it had already ceded to the Turks and Caicos Islands in order to prosecute rampant corruption by Misick—an unprecedented move—left the British in a deeply awkward position.  Among other more serious crimes Brassington and Misick were accused of stealing millions from government coffers in the suddenly-bankrupt Turks & Caicos. 

Later there was a bitter fight to keep details of the findings from being made public, and exposed a connection between Brassington and another 9/11-connected pilot in Florida, German national Wolfgang Bohringer, said to be a close associate of Mohamed Atta’s, who became the subject of a manhunt in the South Pacific in 2006 after the FBI issued a terror alert for him.  

Brassington was convicted in 2010 in Federal Court in Newark New Jersey of endangering the lives of his passengers, who included two ex-Presidents, Luciano Pavarotti, Keith Richards, Burt Reynolds and Snoop Doggie Dogg, because of a near-fatal crash of one of his charter company’s luxury jets at Teterboro Airport outside New York City.  

There are not “multiple truths.” The truth is not subject to long division. There are, however, multiple interpretations.  But the best evidence that Donald Trump’s connections with Russian Mob Boss Semion Mogilevich point to only one conclusion is in the character of the man himself. 

Would he do this?

Note: I don’t know that this is what Mueller found. This is what I found. But if people feel free to characterize a report no one’s seen, I’m okay taking a little license too.
